Then we have Canadian Retail Sales coming out. We have two numbers, the headline number and the less autos number. The less autos number will probably be the more important number, so that's what I will focus on. Like the UK, it's expected to come out at 0.5% or so. If it comes out at 1.0% or higher, that would mean that the Canadian Retail Sector is doing extremely well, and USD/CAD may possibly go down by 40 pips or more in the first 30 minutes of the report. If the number comes out at 0.0% or lower, it would mean that Canadian retail sales didn't grow at all in the month of February, so USD/CAD may possibly go up by 40 pips or more in the first 30 minutes of the report. I may also use less conservative triggers, depending on the price before the report. You can too, just expect a smaller move.
